Except for the draft part
http://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/wyoming-house-advances-doomsday-bill/article_af6e1b2b-0ca4-553f-85e9-92c0f58c00bd.html
CHEYENNE — State representatives on Friday advanced legislation to launch a study into what Wyoming should do in the event of a complete economic or political collapse in the United States.
House Bill 85 passed on first reading by a voice vote. It would create a state-run government continuity task force, which would study and prepare Wyoming for potential catastrophes, from disruptions in food and energy supplies to a complete meltdown of the federal government.
The task force would look at the feasibility of Wyoming issuing its own alternative currency, if needed. And House members approved an amendment Friday by state Rep. Kermit Brown, R-Laramie, to have the task force also examine conditions under which Wyoming would need to implement its own military draft, raise a standing army, and acquire strike aircraft and an aircraft carrier.
The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. David Miller, R-Riverton, has said he doesn’t anticipate any major crises hitting America anytime soon. But with the national debt exceeding $15 trillion and protest movements growing around the country, Miller said Wyoming — which has a comparatively good economy and sound state finances — needs to make sure it’s protected should any unexpected emergency hit the U.S.
Several House members spoke in favor of the legislation, saying there was no harm in preparing for the worst.
“I don’t think there’s anyone in this room today what would come up here and say that this country is in good shape, that the world is stable and in good shape — because that is clearly not the case,†state Rep. Lorraine Quarberg, R-Thermopolis, said. “To put your head in the sand and think that nothing bad’s going to happen, and that we have no obligation to the citizens of the state of Wyoming to at least have the discussion, is not healthy.â€
Wyoming’s Department of Homeland Security already has a statewide crisis management plan, but it doesn’t cover what the state should do in the event of an extreme nationwide political or economic collapse. In recent years, lawmakers in at least six states have introduced legislation to create a state currency, all unsuccessfully.
The task force would include state lawmakers, the director of the Wyoming Department of Homeland Security, the Wyoming attorney general and the Wyoming National Guard’s adjutant general, among others.
The bill must pass two more House votes before it would head to the Senate for consideration. The original bill appropriated $32,000 for the task force, though the Joint Appropriations Committee slashed that number in half earlier this week.
University of Wyoming political science professor Jim King said the potential for a complete unraveling of the U.S. government and economy is “astronomically remote†in the foreseeable future.
But King noted that the federal government set up a Continuity of Government Commission in 2002, of which former U.S. Sen. Al Simpson, R-Wyo., was co-chairman. However, King said he didn’t know of any states that had established a similar board.

Just more evidence that Republicans are bat shit insane.
If they aren't trying to outlaw contraceptives and force women to submit to rape and be thankful they at least got pregnant from it, they are spending tax dollars on committees to come up with ways to survive the coming zombie apocalypse.

Yes. It is inevitable that everything you write gleefully prays for the collapse of the Federal Government.

At the time of the horrible disaster people will support totalitarianism beliving it will make them safe. They will believe it will be only temporary but it will be permanent.
I predict that the US government will be a sham in the future much like the government in Rome during Empire times was. It has the appearance of democracy but it was just another dictatorship. This was the brilliance of Augustus. He knew that people cared more about appearance than anything else. If it appears people are free that is enough for most people

The government at this time isnt a pure sham. Its corrupt but its still a functioning democracy. The sham will come later. The roman style of things is how I imagine the US government ending up after some HUGE disaster or two.

The Roman Republic fell because a barbarian invasion and the defeat of one or more of their armies lead to a crisis which resulted in a reform of their military. This reform allowed the country to to survive but it created super generals which eventually lead to civil war and the end of the Republic.

Rome dealt with plenty of barbarian invasions. Rome finally fell because the rampant corruption tainted everyone into not caring anymore.

the largest body of water in Wyoming is Yellowstone Lake... if "aircraft carrier" is on their list of priorities in the event of a government collapse, i daresay they have their priorities so far out of whack that their entire ability to manage federal money at all should be questioned.

Gotta agree with this. We as a country are already headed down this path with the Patriot Act, TSA, etc. Steady erosion of civil liberties until we wake up in a police state someday.
